Am I Balding Or Is This Normal? Noticed More Hair Falling Than Usual After Weight Loss

[TheDoctor1966]

I've lost a lot of weight in the past three months and I noticed I a bit more hair is falling off my head than usual. No hair is left on my pillow when I wake up, only when I pull on it, ruffle it, or wash it in the shower. I just want to know if this is normal and not thinning. None of my family members are balding and many of them has thick hair. My dad is 70 and he still has wuite a lot of hair

I'm a 19 year-old male. I have noticed that bald spot before when I was younger and my hair still grows longer when I get a haircut. Just asking just to be sure

How much weight? If you lose weight too fast, your body will complain. Don’t.
That spot you took a photo of seems a bit thin actually. However it is very likely a Telogen Effluvium linked to your drastic diet and will reverse itself.

Let's just say I went from 103kg to 83kg in about 3-4 months.

Been increasing my calorie intake to see if it'll help. Here's a more recent picture.

So I'm not balding?

Looks like your vertex is being breached like vajene before chram

Vertex not yet fully compromised, but I would smear that gash with cream of chram and/or minoxidil 5% ED for a year or so to see if it has any effect

The number of hairs falling seems to have slightly reduced when I increased my calorie intake from 1,500 to 2,000. I am not noticing any further thinning... Yet.
